7:58 a.m.: Love me some lichen🍃Lichen are wonderful indicators that air quality is good! Lichen contribute to biological diversity and ecological importance in the Pacific Northwest. Cladonia asahinae (pixie cup lichen), is a species of lichen you may find growing on moss, particularly Chorisodontium aciphyllum, Polytrichum strictum, and Andreaea species.🍃 #fungusamongus #lichenamongus #fungi #lichenlover #pnw #humboldtcounty #norcal #upperleftus #upperleftusa #pnwcollective #pnwonderland #forest #forestfinds #northcoast #fungialgaeaffair #explorehumboldt #lichen #algae #fungi #pixiecup #pixiecuplichen #cladonia #cladoniaasahinae #biologicaldiversity #ecologicalimportance #thatpnwlife #getoutside #neverstopexploring #themoreyouknow
